Perfect Cars for the Loss of a Sense

You heard me - one of the five senses: sight, taste, touch, smell and sound. What car would suit each of them?

Sight: Porsche Panamera Turbo. Would be comfy to ride in, get you where you need to go quickly and you wouldn’t have to look at it.

Taste: Anything Mansory, I think. Or maybe the Puma. But probably the Mansory G63.

Touch: Nissan GTR. You don’t need any touch to be able to drive one quickly.

Smell: Audi R18 TDI Ultra. IDGAF about diesel fumes anymore.

Sound: Well, for damn sure it won’t be the GT350 or F-Type. Missing out on those glorious exhaust notes would be torture. You know what was an awesome car but didn’t sound good? Early Vipers. Enter the Viper GTS.

What say you, Oppo?

I vote loss of sight as the LFA. Or a 787B

Because you can still enjoy dat noise.

True, but I’d really really really really wanna drive both of them.

Hmmm...this could be tricky.

Sight (almost no visibility):

Sound (427 + side pipes):

Smell (I drive a diesel and it’s bad enough, but other drivers’ coal rolling easily drowns out my truck’s exhaust):

Touch (almost entirely automated):

Taste (when you want to be an extremely pretentious asshole):

Yeah, so about that Viper thing: For years, I was under the impression that Vipers sounded bad because of some kind of rasp and dissonnance intrinsic to a V10. Since then, I’ve head LFAs and Lambos that sound awesome. So anyway, exactly why did the Viper sound so bad ?

Good frickin’ question. My thoughts are/were the same, but there are plenty of nice sounding V10s out there. I don’t get it either.

Sound: Any car with a CVT

Big block V10, low RPM. A Viper-specific problem.
